Popular Post Indigo Posted August 5, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2018 I think we can get too bogged down on the finer details on the merits of certain signings sometimes. Ultimately none of us are going to be complaining about the lack of resale value of 4-5 signings who're in their late 20s/early 30s if they're going to contribute to us getting promoted, the same works for the criticism of "improving other teams' young players rather than our own" that we may take in on loan. The step up from the Premier League to the Championship is such that to have any hope of competing again up there we'd have to sign a significant number of players again upon getting promotion anyway, we'd have to do EXTREMELY well in our current predicament to bring in signings that tick both boxes. Snodgrass as an example might be 32 or whatever he is, but he's a demonstrably top player in this league and we're that light on wingers as it stands that I've been a bit bemused to see people turn their noses up at the idea of him coming in again (granted it's apparently not going to happen now). Same with say a Tuanzebe, yeah he'll only go to United at the end of his spell, but in the (entirely unlikely) event we get promoted and he played a part in it I don't think we could legitimately complain that he denied someone like Suliman getting minutes. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can we afford to buy the likes of Snodgrass? I don’t have a problem getting loans. Actually I prefer loans as long as we will have better quality. Onomah for example was extremely average. We had an unused Thor for the first part of season. Getting someone whi’s not better than what we have is always going to harm us. The thing is in terms of our budget we can’t get whoever we want. If we got these old players it will be hard to shift them. We can’t gamble again incase of getting promoted. The way I see it its all in our favour if we kept Jack, window will close early, so teams would need to shift some players even on loans. So hopefully by then we can get Snodds on loan as they would either keep paying his wages or just send him on loans. I can’t see many teams going for him, thats the only part to worry about. As we will have an exciting 20 days of loans. Many championship clubs are going to move on those days. I would also like to think that the club is thinking this way and willing to wait so that they can get players with the best price possible.

alreadyexists Posted August 5, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2018 Joe Bryan is good, he would improve us on the left side. Fwiw Hutton had been pretty good there, and Neil Taylor is fine. But to get Bryan in would be an upgrade. Apparently Derby, Wolves and Newcastle were all interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted August 5, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) £3.5m - in the last year of his contract according to idiots on Twitter, so that should be enough to get him even though he’s likely worth more? Edit: he’s only 5ft 7in... that’s a good foot taller than Elphick though right? Edited August 5, 2018 by alreadyexists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farlz Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Looking like Tuanzebe will be coming back on loan. No Terry this time so he should be played in his proper position at CB next to Chester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) So what we're suggesting is that we're after a Juve forward player, at a time when we have links to Jorge Mendes, and at a time when we have #7 available?
